‘That steely precision and control so characteristic of Preuninger-era Porsche puts it way above any previous Cayman, but the way it feels alive and entertaining at all times means it gives you more, more of the time. It can’t live with the GT3 RS or 675LT for sheer pace, but it’s this greater accessibility and generosity that means it just nicks it for me.’ Dickie Meaden.

Adam Towler is no less forthcoming: ‘Every so often, a car comes along that feels intrinsically right. The GT4 is one such car. It’s inspiring to drive – that much is obvious in the first 250 metres.’

Stuart Gallagher sums it up: ‘Me? I think it’s simply brilliant. It gave me the best drive of the year, of the last decade and possibly of my life. No, really, it’s that good. No matter who stepped out of the GT4, the opinion was the same: Porsche has created a masterpiece.’
